Resciesa Funicular (Rasciesa)
The Resciesa funicular offers a unique and scenic ascent from Ortisei to the Resciesa Alm plateau at 2,100 meters, providing stunning views over the entire Val Gardena and the surrounding Dolomites. It's an ideal choice for families and those seeking gentle walks or snowshoeing in winter. In summer, the plateau is a starting point for popular hikes, including the 'Panoramaweg' (Panoramic Path) and connections to other high-alpine trails. A charming mountain hut, the 'Resciesa Hütte,' provides refreshments. The funicular is typically open from 08:30 to 17:00, with seasonal closures in between winter and summer/autumn operations. A return ticket is approximately €25-€30.
